Quest Master of Konoha

the next day.

Yakumo separated two shadow clones and let them practice ninjutsu freely in the guest room, while the main body rushed to the hotel lobby for dinner. After a night of tossing, Yakumo's spirit seemed a little sluggish.

After completing the teaching yesterday, Aoyama Reiko turned into white smoke in front of him... That's right, it was just a shadow clone who came to teach him the practice of palm immortality.

"Sister Qingshan, good morning."

"I didn't sleep last night... I'm sorry, I should have remembered earlier and taught you the Immortal Palm Art." Aoyama Reiko said apologetically.

"Sister Qingshan, the words are serious. I also want to learn the palm immortality earlier." Yakumo explained with a smile.

After breakfast, the two carried dry food on their backs and continued to set out for the capital of fire. The biggest feature of the country of fire is that there are many trees. In order to get to the capital of fire as soon as possible, the two could only shuttle through the mountains and forests, and they encountered two gangs of bandits. It was easily solved by Reiko Aoyama, and they couldn't resist the thousand copies simply attached to the Thunder Chakra.

Finally, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the two stood in front of the gate of the Fire City, which was a taller city wall. There were guards hidden in the bunker on the wall, and two lines of people were queuing up to enter the giant city. .

Guards in armor are charging fees for entering the city, some people are dragging their families and their mouths are pulled by carriages with high-stacked furniture, and some people are caravans selling goods between countries.

As the two approached, the city wall became more and more majestic and majestic, and the red-painted city gate seemed extremely strong and difficult to shake.

"Pass..." The armored guard asked Aoyama Reiko, his eyes moving up and down.

"Here." Aoyama Reiko said.

What was handed out was Konoha's ninja certificate.

"Please, Konoha's Joinin-sama!"

The guard let go immediately, his expression full of flattery or fear, after all, his eyes were not honest just now.

"It feels shocking."

The two stood on the wide street, lined with various shops, such as ninja tools, pharmacies, public welfare products, and even casinos and taverns. It's just that the decoration of these shops is updated and prosperous. Compared with Konoha, it is more like a village in the countryside.

"Coffee cake... glutinous rice cake, hand-made glutinous rice cake~"

"It's okay." Yakumo looked back. After all, he had memories of a more prosperous and lively city in his memory, and that was the real prosperous scene.

"I was stunned for the first time...for a long time."

Aoyama Reiko's tone had a bit of a smile, probably thinking of her past experience.

Half an hour later, the two came to Daming Mansion on the mountainside, standing on a square paved with a block of marble, overlooking all the scenery of the Fire City, but this is the private territory of Daming Mansion, representing the Daming family. Sacred and inviolable, except for invited guests, anyone who tries to get close will be ruthlessly expelled or even killed.

In other words, this beautiful view overlooking everything, only a very limited number of people can see it, which is a pity.

"Ding dong."

Aoyama Reiko rang the doorbell next to the red lacquered gate, and soon the old man in black opened the side door and invited the two to enter.

"You are Aoyama-sama from Konoha..."

"it's me."

"This is my disciple, who can cooperate with me in the rescue."

"Then please come in."

Under the leadership of the old man in black, the two entered the courtyard through the side door. The prosperity far exceeded Yakumo's imagination. There were many precious flowers and trees in the garden, all of which proved that the owner of the yard was very rich.

"I'm the housekeeper here, just call me Takahashi."

Butler Takahashi led the way, Aoyama and Yakumo followed silently. Yakumo found that the old man did not respect their attitude, and even had a little contempt.

Most of the servants who occasionally met on the road gave up their seats immediately, and then greeted Takahashi respectfully. Obviously, this unremarkable old man had a very high status in the Daming Mansion.

"How is the status of the daimyo?"

Aoyama Reiko asked.

"Sir Damyo is still sleeping, as if nothing has changed." Butler Takahashi replied immediately.

After passing through the winding corridors of gardens, rockeries, and springs, the three of them finally came to Daimyo's bedroom. In front of the door, Yakumo felt two chakra fluctuations, probably around Shangnin, who was the current guardian of the Twelve. .

It's just that their faces are not very good. As the protective power of guarding the daimyo, they can't sleep because of the daimyo... Now they are naturally guilty.

After Takahashi stepped forward to explain the situation to the two, after checking Aoyama Reiko's ninja certificate, the two gave up their birth positions and let the three pass.

With a click, Yakumo smelled dozens of precious medicinal herbs, and the smell lingered in the bedroom for a long time.

The gorgeous and unusual bedroom is displayed in front of Yakumo. Anything here is enough to get a poor and backward village out of the current situation, but they are like garbage, piled in the corner of the bedroom.

Yakumo took a few steps forward, and this time, he saw the old man lying in the center of the two-meter bed, his face was covered with wrinkles and age spots, and his body exuded the extravagance of being in a high position.

It's just that he has a lot of electrodes attached to his body, some even pierced under the skin, and there are various life-support devices next to him that continue his life.

"Mr. Takahashi, I'm going to start treatment next. There should be an analysis room for the experiment."

"Some are right next door. After the big name fell into a deep sleep, the eldest son ordered someone to build a toxicology analysis room within a day."

"That's good...you can go and wait by the side first."

"Aoyama-sama can give orders at any time if you need to." Butler Takahashi slowly retreated to the door, but his eyes were always locked on Aoyama Reiko and Yakumo.

At the same time, two hidden sights also locked them in. As long as there was any accident, they would be greeted with a thunderous blow.

"Yakumo, take blood for the next test."

Aoyama Reiko's hands emerged from the blue chakra group and wandered on the surface of Daimyo's body. He was sensing the abnormal chakra on Daimyo's body.

"Strange and nothing out of the ordinary."

Yakumo turned over the soft quilt, took out the test tube and blood collection needle from the scroll, and began to draw blood. This was when he suddenly saw a few strands of purple filaments on Daimyo's fingernails.

On the other hand, Reiko Aoyama's examination still yielded no results. Yakumo put away the test tube, put on sterile soft rubber gloves, and opened Daimyo's closed eyes with his hands. He also found that tiny purple threads appeared on the surface of the eyeballs.

At this time, Yakumo had already grasped the reason for the sleepiness of Daimyo. Fortunately, he had read many idle books in the past three months, and there happened to be a book that recorded the plant called Sleeping Grass.

The poison of the sleeping grass is colorless and tasteless, and it can make the person who takes it enter a state of deep sleep that cannot be awakened. This state will last for ten days. On the eleventh day, the poisoned person will completely become a corpse that can only breathe, and the medicine stone has no cure. .

It is a pity that the book only recorded the properties of the poison of Shenmiancao, but did not record the means that could be used to detoxify. The most important thing was that they only had seven days to find the antidote.
